3/19/25	What's left to settle? Twins still have multiple roster decisions to make. After an off day on Wednesday, the Twins have just six spring games remaining before they pack things up and leave to play the Cardinals next Thursday in St. Louis. Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, Cole Sands and Danny Coulombe are locked into spots. Jorge Alcala and Louie Varland probably are, as well, but injuries have cracked open the door for the other two spots. The Twins will need to make a determination on Brock Stewart's health over the next few days after he strained his hamstring on Saturday night.

9/08/24	Royals, Twins try to improve postseason positioning in AL Central clash. As the visiting Minnesota Twins look to avoid a weekend sweep against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon, they will hope for better results from their usually solid bullpen. Leading the Royals 2-0 entering the eighth inning Saturday, Minnesota's Jhoan Duran surrendered three runs while Griffin Jax allowed three additional hits and a run as Kansas City stormed back for a 4-2 win. "We have a two-run lead in the eighth with our two best rested and ready to go," Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said of his expectations. Duran, who entered the game Saturday with baseball's fifth-best save conversion rate, took his ninth relief loss and fourth in his past nine outings while Jax, who has 23 holds, got his fifth blown save.

8/28/24	Another bullpen implosion renders Twins' rally against Braves useless. Is bad bullpen'ing contagious? If so, Minnesota Twins relievers might want to try a mask. After rallying in the eighth inning to tie the game 4-4, the Twins melted down in an 8-6, 10-inning loss to the visiting Atlanta Braves. The problem Tuesday night was star closer Jhoan Duran, who was lit up for four runs (three earned) in the top of the 10th inning, erasing a momentous rally that saw the Twins go from down 4-0 to tying the game with three runs in the seventh and one more in the eighth.

6/22/24	Late home run dooms Twins in loss to Athletics. OAKLAND — The Twins had the matchup they were looking for with Jhoan Duran on the mound. Rocco Baldelli turned to his closer in the eighth inning earlier to face a more challenging part of Oakland’s lineup. It just didn’t work out as they had envisioned. The Oakland Athletics punched back last in a back-and-forth game on Friday when Shea Langeliers blasted the first pitch he saw from Duran for ...

5/31/24	Opponents are hitting Jhoan Duran, Twins think it's a matter of execution. Called to the mound to lock down a victory over division rival Kansas City at Target Field on Tuesday, Jhoan Duran was greeted by a double off the scoreboard in right-center by Royals catcher Salvador Perez. “Really,” Duran said afterward, “I don't know how he touched the pitch.” Perez is one baseball's hottest hitters right now — and one of the best at clobbering pitches out of the zone — but he hasn't been alone. Dairon Blanco pinch ran and was thrown out trying to steal second for the first out, and Duran fanned MJ Melendez for the second before Nick Loftin grounded back to the mound for the final out in a 4-2 victory.

5/29/24	Ascending Twins look to hand Royals another loss. The Minnesota Twins face a good problem as they prepare for Wednesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals in Minneapolis. Jhoan Duran has collected a save in five of the past six games for the Twins, including Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Royals. Duran has eight saves in 14 appearances this season and likely will need to rest his right arm as the Royals and Twins meet for the third time in a four-game series.

5/26/24	Twins' Jhoan Duran in 'good spot' after mechanical adjustment. Jhoan Duran questioned the pitch selection after allowing a walk-off home run to Will Brennan last week, saying he would have preferred to throw a first-pitch fastball rather than the curveball he ended up throwing. On the Twins' last road trip, Duran gave up home runs in three straight appearances. Source: https://www.twincities.com/2024/05/26/twins-jhoan-...
5/20/24	Trouble with the curve: Twins swept on pitch Duran didn’t want to use. CLEVELAND – In a season that featured a poor 20-game start, followed by one of the best 20-game stretches in team history, the Twins are sitting at another low point. After a chaotic top of the ninth inning in which the Cleveland Guardians blew a one-run lead without giving up a hit or a ball out of the infield, Twins closer Jhoan Duran surrendered a three-run, walk-off homer to Will Brennan ...

5/18/24	“We Expect It At This Point:” Guardians React To Jose Ramirez's Heroics. Jose Ramirez is one of just a few players in baseball you'd choose to have at the plate with the game on the line. The Minnesota Twins were reminded of this the hard way as J-Ram hit a go-ahead home run off closer Jhoan Duran in the eighth inning of Friday night's 3-2 victory. Duran has been one of the best relievers in baseball this season and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli intentionally chose him to come into the eighth inning to match up with the heart of Cleveland's order.

5/18/24	José Ramírez's homer in 8th inning leads Guardians to 3-2 win and sends Twins to 4th straight loss.

Ramírez connected for his 10th homer on a 2-1 pitch from Jhoan Duran. It was the 226th career homer for Ramírez, moving him into a tie for fourth in club history with Hall of Famer Earl Averill. In the sixth inning, Ramírez was involved in a play where Twins shortstop Carlos Correa was called for being shifted to the wrong side of second base. Emmanuel Clase worked the ninth for his 13th save. The Twins lost their fourth straight. Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/ram-rez-s-hom...

It was the 226th career homer for Ramírez, moving him into a tie for fourth in club history with Hall of Famer Earl Averill. Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/ramirezs-ho...
5/04/24	Twins Closer Jhoan Duran Might Have the Best Entrance in MLB. Minnesota Twins flamethrower Jhoan Duran's iconic ninth-inning entrance made its season debut Friday night at Target Field. Duran, who missed the first month of the 2024 campaign with an oblique injury, had his first opportunity to earn a save at home in the Twins' 5–2 win over the Boston Red Sox. After Duran threw his final warm-up pitch in the bullpen, the lights at Target Field turned off. Duran trotted in toward the mound as a club-style song—mixed just for this entrance—blared over the speakers. Source: https://www.news-daily.com/arena/sports_illustrate...
